Recent cross posts on the Pensacola tar balls and and the environmental damage done because of one "small" oil reservoir.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting tar balls washing ashore Pensacola Beach on Friday:
Officials on Thursday afternoon spotted an oil slick within 3 1/2 miles of the Pensacola coast, and a stretch of Pensacola Beach contained dozens of gooey, oil-like clumps Friday morning. Locals and tourists poked at the gobs with sticks and took photos of them with their cellphones. Few ventured into the water, although area beaches remained open.
More oil was spotted about 10 miles offshore, although the main portion of the Deepwater spill was still about 30 miles away. Authorities had predicted oil from the spill could reach parts of Florida's Panhandle by Friday or Saturday.
